Actually, fandom is where we explore fandom.

Which is not to say there isn't a place within fandom for exploring issues, sociopolitical and otherwise. There is, and it's good there is. But no, fandom is not "where we explore issues", it is where we smoosh our favourite fictional characters together and make them kiss. The clue is in the name.

I'm not sure that I understand the wording. Could someone smart explain the bonus secret?

The main secret is about gatekeeping people out of fandom because they don't want to have social issues there? I think? What issues, what fandom? I'm confused.

Haven't seen anyone sponsor BetterHelp since forever, but maybe I'm luck. I try to give them the doubt of maybe not knowing. I found out about the debacle with BetterHelp very late myself, and it doesn't seem like something people talk about anymore. (but would expect them to look into it at least, I guess.)

Yeah I get this. Pretty sure the reason DT is doing this stuff (other than his personal stake due to his nb child) is that he is perfectly placed to not need defending too much, he's deflecting the heat from more vulnerable people and given he's the exact opposite of terminally online he probably won't even see half the reactionary crap being said about him.

I'm out of the loop, why are they so bad?

[(Anonymous)]

PREACH.

I'm of two minds on this. I do agree that the example shows in the secret are political and raise issues that are interesting to discuss. If you're a fan of The Boys and you don't realize fascism is bad ALONG with the gross superhero fun, you're missing the point by a mile.

On the other hand, the part of fandom that wants to hate on an actor because they haven't mentioned Palestine can fuck right off. I hate shit tests like that when artists (along with everyone else!) are allowed not to share their political thoughts.

Eh, saying 'fandom is for kissing' isn't really any more accurate than 'fandom is for exploring issues' personal or societal or moral or whatever

Fandom is where we take our favorite fictional characters and make them do whatever we want, which is sometimes kissing each other, sometimes not kissing each other and going on adventures as friends, and sometimes lecturing their medieval peers about what demisexuality is. But claiming fandom is any one particular activity at all isn't really true

Based by 4 - Sides you like better than the mains.

What side characters you like better, find more interesting, than the main characters?

No.

Fandom is not activism. It doesn’t matter how much you desperately want it to be activism, it isn’t. It never was.

Fandom is a great place to meet other fans and learn different viewpoints, new concepts, other ways of doing or thinking about things. And that can spur ideologic, social, and political change. But at its base, it’s about fans discussing and creatively exploring a shared interest.

Chris Stuckmann, Babish and Try Guys recently all did Better help. Recently as in 2 or 3 weeks ago.

From what I recall, selling sensitive personal info to advertisers, because their "therapists" aren't technically medical professionals and therefore not covered by confidentiality laws. Or something similar.
